States of America, and which it stands, liberty and justice for all. JOHN CARLOS ROUNSAVILLE — a great patriot from a family of great patriots. One committed both in spirit and in action to the preservation of the loftiest ideals of our American civilization. John, you who were a student in this college from September, 1937, to July, 1939, your name is written indelibly on the scroll of eternity. M. F. RUSSELL — a boy whose love of country must not be confused with blind, youthful enthusiasm. He entered the armed forces fully aware of his likely fate but determined to serve whatever the cost. M. F., you who were a student in the college during the academic year of 1941-42, it is by men like you, men who envision the supreme sacrifice but never quaver, that the flag of liberty will be carried to the mountain peak of lasting victory. STEVE HENRY OATES — the first graduate of our institution to make the supreme sacrifice. A boy with a burning zeal to aid his fellow man through the practice of medicine; one who worked for what he got, and got what he worked for. Steve, you who were a student in this college from Septem- ber, 1937, to June, 1941, as surely as you left a record for friendliness and diligence on the campus and in the com- munity, you have left a record as an unexcelled patriot in the annals of American life. ROBERT D. WARREN, JR. — one who paid with his life for his unwavering belief in the eternal Tightness of the American way of life. Ambitious, but willing to volunteer his services to his country despite early successes in business. Robert, you who were a student in the college during the academic year 1936-1937, you have written your name forever in the clear blue sky of great Americans.

to the flag of the United to the Republic for one nation indivisible, with No institution can be said to have lived in vain if in the hour of crisis its stalwart sons and daughters respond with the courage and distinction which is characteristic of those to whom we pay tribute at this time. To those who have given the last full measure of devotion, mingled with deep sorrow, goes our eternal gratitude. They are now in communion with the spirits of great hearts who, through the ages, have died to make men free. To those who are wounded, we send our sympathy and our prayers for speedy recovery. To all there go from this hallowed place pride and love, together with complete confidence that they will bring undying honor to themselves, their loved ones, and their Alma Mater. Let us here highly resolve to be worthy of their sacrifice. lVU and s ; GusBoun toU941 Son ot Nii- „. Ued in me LT CARL COOk onef anconcentrauon
